Progress 10/01/07 to 09/30/08
Outputs OUTPUTS: The following reflects major accomplishments for the life of this problem. The Aspen FACE Experiment, the world's largest climate change experiment, was established in 1996 at the Harshaw Forestry Research Farm in conjunction with several other organizations and has continued to present. Funding also supported research on ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide and water for northern forest ecosystems within the multi-organizational ChEAS and Ameriflux projects. Data were collected to examine the effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on model northern hardwood forest ecosystems (aspen, aspen-paper birch, aspen-sugar maple). Results to date indicate a stimulatory effect of elevated carbon dioxide on growth and a reduction of growth due to elevated ozone which approximately cancels the CO2 effect. Papers were published on the effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on the intra- and inter-specific competitive ability of aspen, and on the effect of elevated temperature and carbon dioxide on the phenolic biochemistry of boreal trees affecting the balance between populations of trees and herbivorous (foliage-consuming) insects. Our research has also shown that climate mediates the effects of carbon dioxide and ozone, an important finding for scientists studying carbon sequestration and global warming. We have also determined that elevated carbon dioxide and ozone affect the wood properties of aspen and birch. Aspen FACE has been highly successful, with over 100 scientists from 20 organizations and 8 countries doing research at the Experiment, and publishing over 170 scientific papers. In open top chamber experiments we found differences in growth among Populus clones in their positive response to CO2 and negative response to ozone. We also studied the biogenic emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from northern forest trees and found major species and within-species genetic differences in the VOC emission rates. The results indicate that northern forests are large sources of VOCs at the landscape scale which is of interest to air quality regulators. PARTICIPANTS: Neil Nelson Jud Isebrands Richard Dickson Nicanor Saliendra Mark Kubiske Evan McDonald TARGET AUDIENCES: NFS forest managers Federal air quality regulators (EPA) Forest products industry Other researchers Policy makers State forest managers PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts The findings indicate that changes in the global atmosphere likely this century will shift the relative abundance of important tree species in the northern hardwood forest. Higher ozone will increase mortality of aspen, but genetic variation within that species will affect the magnitude of the changes. The three primary species under study in the Aspen FACE Experiment are some of the most prevalent and economically important trees in the northern U.S. The results may have a significant impact on forest management and utilization in the region. In addition there has already been major technology transfer from Aspen FACE to the regulatory sector. In 2008 the U.S. EPA reduced the nationwide secondary standard for ozone exposure (pollution) from 80 ppb to 75 ppb. Five of the fifteen vegetation research papers cited in the decision were from the Aspen FACE Experiment. In the text of the standards revision in the Federal Register the EPA specifically mentioned data from the Aspen FACE project as a significant basis for their decision. This regulatory change is expected to have substantial positive effects on the health, growth, and yield of agricultural crops and forests.

Progress 10/01/05 to 09/30/06
Outputs Funding supported work on the Aspen FACE (Free-Air Carbon Dioxide and Ozone Enrichment) project initiated in 1997: the world's largest atmospheric change experiment. Data were collected to examine the effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on model northern hardwood forest ecosystems. A paper was published in New Phytologist on the reduction of growth in northern hardwood stands due to ozone pollution. Other papers were published in Global Change Biology describing interactive responses of northern hardwoods to carbon dioxide, ozone, and climate, and in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the similar responses to elevated carbon dioxide across a broad range of temperate forest species. Another full growing season of data was collected from two mobile eddy flux towers to describe carbon dioxide exchange in regenerating aspen forests and peat bogs in the northern great lakes region. Progress was made on a modeling project to determine possible
effects of elevated ozone pollution on forest composition in the next 100 years. We have continued to monitor the incidence of insect activity in all of the aspen and birch FACE trees, and their impact on tree mortality and disease incidence. Ozone treatments interacting with drought are triggering a significant rise in wood boring insects on birch, and an accompanying sharp spike in birch mortality. Carbon dioxide and ozone treatments have had diverse effects (some positive and some negative) on insect populations, and a manuscript describing the results is in process.
Impacts Impact: Data from this project on ozone effects has been incorporated in the Ozone Criteria Document from which the EPA Ozone Standard is determined. Knowledge of these and other effects elucidated through the project will be useful in monitoring forest health, establishing regulatory policy, developing and modifying forest management practices and plans on both public and private lands, and improving tree selection programs.

Progress 10/01/03 to 09/30/04
Outputs Funding supported work on the aspen FACE experiment: the largest air pollution experiment in the world. Data were collected to examine the effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on model forest ecosystems. A manuscript was published comparing photosynthetic properties across several elevated CO2 experiments. A manuscript was submitted to Nature describing net primary productivity, and another manuscript is in preparation for Science describing interactive responses to CO2, ozone, and climate. Work was initiated on two mobile eddy flux towers to describe CO2 exchange in regenerating aspen forests and peat bogs in the northern great lakes region. A modeling project was initiated to determine possible effects of elevated ozone pollution on forest composition in the next 100 years. We have monitored the incidence of insect activity in all of the aspen and birch FACE trees, and their impact on tree mortality and disease incidence. Ozone treatments are triggering a
significant rise in wood boring insects on birch, and an accompanying sharp spike in birch mortality. This data is being analyzed and prepared for a manuscript. Six years of CO2 treatments have had diverse effects (some positive and some negative) on insect populations, and these studies are being prepared for a manuscript as well.
Impacts These data suggest that rising tropospheric ozone levels will induce widespread susceptibility of birches to wood boring beetles, and heightened birch mortality. Knowledge of these and other effects elucidated through the project will be useful in monitoring forest health, establishing regulatory policy, developing and modifying forest management practices and plans on both public and private lands, and improving tree selection programs.

Progress 10/01/02 to 09/30/03
Outputs Funding supported the aspen FACE experiment; the largest open-air air pollution experiment in the world. Data were collected to determine the effects of elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and O3 on the relative biomass distribution of three tree species, their growth characteristics, and their competitive interactions. Two manuscripts are in preparation. Work is continuing to determine whole-canopy photosynthesis, nitrogen use efficiency and water use under elevated CO2 and O3. We are working with several collaborators to compute an ecosystem carbon budget for three forest types under global change conditions. Work is on-going to determine the impact of insect feeding on photosynthetic performance under elevated CO2 and O3. The ecological impacts of forest tent caterpillar on trees exposed to elevated CO2 and O3 is underway. A population genetics study is underway to determine migration routes of spruce budworm and the effects of forest fragmentation.
Impacts Knowledge of these effects will be useful in establishing administrative and regulatory policy, monitoring forest health, and improving tree selection programs. Understanding the responses of trees and forests to CO2 and O3 will provide the basis for development of new management practices in forests and nurseries.

Progress 10/01/01 to 09/30/02
Outputs A new initiative was launched for understanding CO2 and O3 effects on canopy-level processes of northern forests. Various lines of research were published showing effects of these gasses on: 1) competition among species and genotypes, 2) efficiency of nitrogen use in a forest canopy, 3) growth and functioning of roots and root systems, 4) simulating growth responses and measured growth responses. Effects of these gasses on the production of secondary metabolites was initiated linking tree defenses to damage by leaf feeding and wood boring insects. This work was accomplished at the aspen FACE experiment, the largest field-based global change experiment in the world. Renewed funding from the Department of Energy Office of Biological and Environmental Research was received for another three years. Work also continued in monitoring CO2 and water vapor fluxes from a network of four eddy covariance towers located throughout northern Wisconsin. A manuscript is in
preparation.
